At the e of the first day of the ladies‘ competition. judges placed the 18-year-old Ottawa girl first ln all figures and agreed she was clearly superior to the other competitors. Earlier it was un- officially stated she had won all but one of the six compulsory figures. Her only close compet- itor was Gretchen Merrill of Bos- ton, United States ice queen.

Miss Scott. who won the Euro- pean tltla two weeks ago at Da- Nl Plats. Switzerland, scored 873.4 points in the first half of the compulsory figures to 842.6 points for Miss Merrill, who had finished second behind Miss Scott at Davos Platz. Britain's Daphne Walker was third with 834.1 and Jeanette Altwegg. alsoiof Britain, took fourth place with 819 points.

American. was second and Arthur Apfel, south African holder of

the British chamlpionmip. W85 third. But tho performance of the

blonde Barbara Ann was the big event of the day. She steadily increased the lead of 10 points by which she won over Miss Merrill in the first two figures and fln- ished an altogether successful day with a lead of 30.8 points.

After her performance she went directly to her hotel for relax- ation and a rest before tomor- row's program. expected to 1B5! about six hours.

loading off across the spotless tar-

pet of White was a light trail of blood spots that eventually disap- peared in a, wooded thicket. No tracks of man, bird or a-nllmal were in the immediate vicinity. It was as if a grouse had done s. ‘strip tease act’ on the snow alnd then flown off leaving its feathered garments where they had fallen I I I

To the uninitiated this was the makings of woodland mystery suf- ficient m tax the powers of de- duction of even the famed Sher- , lock Holmes. I have stumbled alcross several such happenings during my lifetime. As they gave me the details of the apparent tra- gedy. I could visualize in my mind's eye the Goshanvk striking down tile luckless Ruffed grouse in mid air and pinning it om the snow grasped on the back by lmlg. black razor shall-p talons, as with a. rocking motion, like a youngster riding a log in a mill pond. he drove the twin sets of daggers through the soft part of the back deep into U19 birds vitals.

I once saw. when a young lad on the ‘farm, a large Goshaiwk (bet- ter known as hen hawk) pin a full grown Brown Leghorn pullet c-n the ground. It made no effort to Deck at the pullet with its beak but stocd straight up on- its back with a peculiar motion like unto in persan rocking a boat, It lock me only a matter of seconds to scare ilhe hawk away but the pullet ,no effort lo get up. Blood s ‘trickling out its bill and it died while I watched. In the soft part of its back, just above the base of ithe tail, were l-wo sci; of dark puncture marks. , o

The hawk that killed the grouse evidently plucked the bird right. on the spot, and flley can make a thorough job of it. The blood in the center cf the circle cf feathers would be from the trickle of blood from the bill and the drops of blood on the, snow that apparently rained from the sky showed the course the hawk took when it car- ried its prey off to some secluded thicket where it could dine in peace. Goshatwks, Cooper's or sharp Sllinxled hawks always pluck the bird; they kill before they carry thorn to their young and frequently perform the same cliorg when they make a kill for thelnscivcs. How- ever, I have sccn Goshawks, when possessed with exlrcnlc lllulger. tearing into the body of a hen or game bird they have killed Witiwul any preliminaries.

Several phezsznlls have been rc- ported killed by hawks and c-wls and a few weeks ago n big Cock Ring-neck was picked up by a rural mail carrier at Bunbul-y. This bird had evidently been killed by a weasel as puncture marks were present on the throat. Mr. Calder. our local taxidermist who mounted the specimen stated that it was heavy and fat. It measured close to four feet from tip of tail to bill n.1,, beautiful bird was on display in the show window of Henderson and Cudmone, city.
